Description

HILACK is Buddy Works' rear-weighted sinking pencil, built with a constant 98mm body across three tuned weights (24g/30g/35g) so anglers can rotate models for casting distance, retrieve speed and depth without changing the bait's baitfish-like silhouette. Developed originally as a sea-run cherry salmon (sakuramasu) lure in Hokkaido, the model was found equally effective on flounder (hirame).

This 30g model is Buddy Works' general-purpose pick, with an average cast distance of 90-95m and a retrieve depth window from a 1.5-2m bottom up to roughly 70cm mid-layer — the weight the maker recommends trying first.

This listing stocks 4 colourways from the hirame lineup: BL2 Blossom II, AJI Aji, BKS Black Sapphire and HAC High Appeal Clear.

Information

The swimming action

HILACK is a rear-weighted sinking pencil with a constant 98mm body across its 24g, 30g and 35g sizes, so the bait's silhouette and roll stay the same as the weight changes. Each size trims cast distance, sink rate and retrieve depth without altering the baitfish profile.

When to throw it

Originally developed in Hokkaido for sea-run cherry salmon (sakuramasu), and equally effective on hirame (flatfish), it suits open surf beaches and river mouths across a range of depths and current strengths, from shallow, slow water up to deep, wind-affected surf.

How to work it

Fished on a straight retrieve, using rod tip height and retrieve speed to hold the bait in the target depth band. The 30g size is the general-purpose pick, casting 90-95m and running a roughly 0.7-2m depth band. Rotate between the three weights to match conditions without changing the bait's action or profile.

The setup it likes

Suits a 9–10'6" surf spinning rod matched to the 30g model, a 3000–4000 size reel, PE 1–1.5 braid and a 20–25 lb fluorocarbon leader, stepping up rod power and line class for the heavier sizes.
